Patent EP-3979527-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SEIDLITZ STEVEN T
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 2021-09-08
Abstract: To improve integrity of time synchronization, a node in the safety rated system takes steps to ensure the time to which it is synchronized has not become corrupted. The node receives a synchronize request message from an adjacent network device, which includes the master time, and the node generates an offset value corresponding to a difference between a local time and the master time. The node stores the offset time into a safety memory to ensure that the offset value has data integrity and does not become corrupted. The node performs periodic skew detection between two devices to verify that the clocks remain synchronized. In addition, the node performs a local drift detection to detect if the frequency of the local oscillator on which the local clock value is based begins to change.

Abstract: A system, comprising a Trickle Bed Reactor (TBR), a Photo BioReactor (PBR), and a feedback module is used to sustainably boost CO2 fixation for growing micro-algae. The TBR comprises a packing material in the form of non-porous particles with a high surface-to-volume ratio, forming a substrate for attachment of Volatile Fatty Acid (VFA) producing microbes, fed with CO2 (and/or CO), H2, nutrients, and a moistening liquid. The TBR output is fed to the PBR which uses micro-algae selected or adapted for increased productivity in the presence of VFAs. No CO2 needs to be fed to the PBA. At least part of the output of the PBA is fed by the feedback module back to the TBR either as a source of nutrients or for as a means backflushing for unclogging or expulsing the packing material from the TBR for cleaning/disinfection.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for monitoring operator fatigue. In particular, indications of operator fatigue are obtained using a natural language-based communication interface (310). These are then processed using natural language-based processing (312) to determine a set of one or more data points indicative of the operator's current fatigue level. At the same time, data indicative of the current ambient conditions within the system is obtained. It is then determined which actions are to be performed by a control circuit of the system to reduce operator fatigue. A respective rule can thus be generated that can be automatically applied by the control circuit when similar ambient conditions are subsequently encountered within the system.

Title: An intrusion detector for a lorry
Inventor: SZYMBORSKI ALEX
IPC: G08B21/02
Filed: 2021-02-08
Abstract: For various political, commercial and humanitarian reasons there is a desire to detect intrusion of stowaways into lorries and other freight vehicles. Many traditional intrusion detectors operate on the bases of detect an increase in carbon dioxide within a space as an indicator of the presence of a human. A problem arises when the freight vehicle is carrying perishable goods such as fruits and vegetables which give off CO 2  as they perish as this makes it difficult to reliably attribute the cause of an elevation in CO 2  concentration. The invention overcomes this problem by detecting a sudden decrease in CO 2  concentration within the freight vehicle from a concentration that is much elevated from the background atmospheric concentration of ~400ppm. This sudden decrease can be attributed to the opening of a door of the trailer allowing the escape of CO 2  that has built up as the freight perishes.
